Havoc of One Mad Dog.

Mortimer Levering, secretary of the Indiana Live Stock Sanitary Commission, makes a report from the last meeting, held June 6, of some of the excellent work done by the commission. A mad dog had created havoc in Vernon County, in the southern part of the state, which was at once reported to the commission , which at once set to work destroying the animals which had the contagion. It resulted in the killing of seventy-two head of cattle, fiftyeight horses, numberless hogs and two hundred dogs, each of which had been infected by the other. The destruction was kept up until every animal having signs of hydrophobia was exterminated. —Lafayette Courier.
